“(In
emailing
candidates)
you
could
have
as
little
as
15
seconds
of
attention
before
your
email
is
closed so
ensure
your
communication:
• is
written
in
the
“what’s
in
it
for
them?”
• shows
that
you’ve
done
your
research
• shows
that
you’re
worth
talking
to
and
• isn’t
lazy
me,
me,
me
but
is
proactive them,
them,

On
recruiting
via
Twitter:
“Engaging
people
on
Twitter
is
really
no
different
that
striking
up
a
conversation
in
person.
You
hear
someone
talking
about
the
game
last
night,
a
book
they
read,
a
work
challenge,
etc.,
and
you
can
easily
jump
right
in
with
relevant
content
and/or
questions…engaging
people
in
two-­‐way
conversations
is social.”

“When
you
consider
that
women
make
up
half
the
world's
population
and
workforce,
but
they
hold
a
much
smaller
percentage
of
its
technology
jobs,
it's
clear
that
our
industry
is
missing
out
on
a
big
potential
source
of
talent.
That's
why
it's
critical
that
companies
invest
in
getting
more
women
into
tech.”

“Recruitment
IS

If

a
recruiter
now
a
days
and
you
don’t
see
yourself
as
a
marketeer,
you’re
in
the
wrong
profession.
If
you’re
not
marketing,
you’re
not

it.”

“A
true
Sourcer needs
to
be
open-­‐minded,
resourceful,
and
creative.
While
some
sites
and
tools
may
seem
to
cover
the
“wrong”
territory,
many
can
be
used
quite
productively
if
you
give
them
a
chance
and
dig
a

deeper.”

“With
more
and
more
people
being
present
online in
many
positions
the
real
challenge
is
the
engagement
with
the
candidates
– and
the
end
result
depends
more
on
your
selling
than
searching
skills.
What
you
have
to
realize
however,
that the
way
you
search
and
who
you
search
for
impacts
the
difficulty
of
the
sales
efforts
you
have
to
make.”

“Passive
sourcing
is
a
process
and
not
a
one-­‐time
event.
Your
goal
with
passive
sourcing
measures
is
to
find
out
who
the
talent
is,
where
these
hand-­‐picked
individuals
are
online,
what
methods
have
the
best
chance
that
they’ll
respond
to
you,
and
that
the
accompanying
measures
help
to
retain
them.”

“Social
media
has
changed.
We
used
to
believe
it
was
this
engagement
tool…
(now)
we
should
be
treating
it
like
media.
(Social
media)
allows
us
to
do
the
same
things
(as
traditional
media)
we
just
need
to
think
of
it
in
the
right

“Twitter
should
not
be
considered
the
end
goal (of
sourcing
and
recruiting),
rather
Twitter
is
the
channel
through
which
recruiters
can
find
and
engage
with
the
talent communities
they
are
interested
in.
With
Twitter
sourcing,
it
is
all
about
who
knows
who.”

“You
could
(interview)
a
lot
of
people
and
just
spend
a
little
time
(with
each
of
them),
or
you
could
talk
to
just
five
instead
of
one
hundred
and
spend
a
lot
of
time
with
them.
Our
goal
isn’t
to
replace
a
recruiter,
but
to
give
them
tools
to
determine
if
there
is
a
fit
before
they
talk
to
(candidates).”
